I had to tumble some bottles for a guy and trade additional bottles to get these. They had been dug over 20 years ago and had been sitting a shed ever since. They were very dirty. I’m super happy with the way these turned out. City Ice from Georgetown Texas.

Before and After of an Austin Bottling Works crown top. This is one of the 9 different variations of the Austin Bottling Works crown tops that I am aware of.

I’m on a time crunch now that the Central Texas Bottle show is just a little over a month away and I want to get the worse of stains and mineral deposits off as many bottles as I can. This one didn’t receive the final polishing step but I think it still turned out pretty well. Galveston Texas hutch

What compound are you using for your bottles that shape? I’ve been running the 1500 on most all mine and haven’t have to use the aluminum oxide or the half micron
